Hey there Ices!
Of course, it's always my pleasure! This minidump doesn't really tell us much about what may be happening (if software-wise). We'll follow some generic solutions to see if they help (they usually do), and then we'll run Driver Verifier as a last instance to see if any driver is causing these issues.
Did you take any action which may have lead to this happening?
Please, follow these steps:
- SYSTEM FILES INTEGRITY CHECK
First of all, and it's the most important step, make sure all Windows Updates are installed, all drivers are updated and BIOS is updated as well, everything with the latest installation possible. Please, check over graphics drivers (from their official websites), chipset driver, network driver... Then as well check on your BIOS and install the latest update for it.
Then, we will do some system files check, and also check the hard drive, just in case. Follow these steps:
- Press Windows + R. Type 'cmd' and press Enter.
- In the command prompt, run the following commands:
> dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> sfc /scannow
> chkdsk /f
Third command may ask you to type Y to reset the computer. Just type Y and then press Enter. I'd recommend you to post some feedback if these commands have fixed anything or not.
- CLEAN BOOT
Perform a clean boot following the steps given in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-t... and see if issues continue happening. Report back with some feedback!
I would as well try to run your system in Safe Mode. Generally, if issues persist in Safe Mode it's because it may be hardware related. You can find the instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sta...
- DRIVER VERIFIER
We'll run Driver Verifier to check if there's a specific driver causing all this.
- Please, create a restore point before starting all these steps.
- Click on Windows search tab and type 'verifier'. Press Enter.
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next".
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next".
- Select everything expect for "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "Low Resource Simulation" (both random and systematic) and click "Next".
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
- Select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
- Reboot your computer and wait for it to give a BSOD.
If it BSODs, it'll show DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (xxxxx.sys). Please, share that error code with me along with the .DMP file it creates.
To stop it, go back in and select "Delete existing settings" on the first page of Driver Verifier.
If the BSOD appears exactly when booting, and doesn't let you go past it, you can go into Safe Mode and deactivate it from there. If it doesn't let you access Safe Mode to disable it, you can as well go into Recovery screen, open the Command Prompt and run verifier /resetverifier . This will deactivate Driver Verifier automatically.
Let's see if problems stop happening when we update all drivers and BIOS or with the system files' integrity check. If not, let's see then if issues persist in clean boot or in safe mode (please, give me some feedback). Then, just run Driver Verifier and upload the minidumps that it may create.
Have a lovely Christmas, and stay safe please!
Hugs,
Miguel Ángel :)
